| [FoxNews] Texas authorities seized more than a dozen firearms and over 3,500 rounds of ammunition following the pursuit of a suspect who was believed to be heading to Mexico. The short chase began around 7:30 p.m. Friday after a Texas Highway Patrol trooper attempted to stop a vehicle traveling in Hidalgo County, located on the border with Mexico, for a traffic violation, the Texas Department of Public Safety (DPS) said in a press release. The trooper eventually stopped the vehicle near the city of La Joya and discovered 16 firearms and 3,520 rounds of ammunition inside. The firearms seized included high-powered fully automatic rifles, shotguns, handguns and a .50 caliber rifle, the DPS said. The driver was arrested and is facing weapons charges. The DPS said he was believed to be headed to Mexico. "Everyday (sic), the @TxDPS is on the frontline to secure our border," Gov. Greg Abbott tweeted Saturday in response to the seizure. Fox News national correspondent Bill Melugin reported that a DPS official said the uinidentified suspect was a Mexican national. Fox News reached out to the DPS for more details but did not immediately hear back. The arrest occurred during Operation Lone Star, which was set up earlier this year in response to a surge in migrants and cartel smuggling across the Texas border. "Thanks to @GovAbbott’s leadership, DPS continues its presence, including air, ground, marine and tactical security assets, along the border to combat the smuggling of people, weapons and drugs into Texas," the DPS tweeted.

| #6 Anytime you're in possession of anything illegal it's best to drive in strict obedience of all traffic laws, make sure all of your tail lights, headlights, signal lights and muffler are working, license plates are properly mounted, insurance is paid and the car isn't spewing exhaust in violation of smog laws. |

| #3 Tried to track down more info.. The La Joyas City Jail inmate website is "404" now. Scanned well over 100 Mugshots and arrest records for Hidalgo County Tx. Between 5-21-2021 and 05-23-21 Nothing. Note: Hidalgo County Tx. has a massive DUI and family violence problem. It is a dime a DZ down there. The 4wH storyline is kinda of odd ? Note: 4wH = who, what, when, where and How (or How Much) |
